Biography
I am a Teaching Fellow in the School of Engineering and Computing Sciences. I graduated from Durham in 1996 followed by an MSc by research in Computer Science. I completed my my PhD (part-time) in 2010. My research interests lie in Requirements Engineering in the areas of Computer Science and Software Engineering Education. My teaching role involves both level 1 and level 2 students and I am the coordinator the level 2 Software Engineering module and Director of Undergraduate Studies for the School.
